Abstract: The aim was to prepare and identify the monoclonal antibodies of the P2X7 receptor. Our method was to use the extracellularfragment of human beings’ P2X7 receptor to produce the short peptide as an antigen to immunize mouse for three times. Then B lymphocyteswere isolated from the mouse spleen, and then mixed with myeloma cells and cultured. The positive hybridoma clones were selected and widelycultured to prepare and identify the biological effects of P2X7. The supernatant was collected and purified by HiTrap protein G affinity column.The results were as follows. Firstly, a stable hybridoma cell line secreting mAb against human P2X7 receptor was obtained, and the heavy andlight chains of the secreted mAb were IgG1 and κ respectively. The titers of the ascites was 1∶6.4×104, which was remained stable aftersubculture of hybridoma cells for 30 passages or storage at liquid nitrogen for 6 months. Secondly, the western blotting test showed that the mAbcould specifically bind to P2X7 receptor. The conclusion was that the prepared mAb against P2X7 receptor showed high specificity and stability,which laid a foundation for the development of the antibody drug aimed at P2X7 receptor as a target antigen.
